Bowl Support Tubes Installation
When you are complete with this section, ensure that
the placement of the Bullet Feeder does not interfere
with the operation of your press.
Various options exist depending on the configuration of
your reloading press. Choose the correct option below
based on the accessories you have (Strong Mounts,
Case Feeder, etc.).
The goal is to install your Bullet Feeder Bowl in a
location above the Seat Die Assembly so no kinks are
in the Continuous Spring and bullets can drop through
it freely (Photo 16). Hold the Bowl Assembly up above
the Feed/ Seat Die and check Continuous Spring’s
alignment. This is approximately where you want the
Bowl to be positioned when complete.

For Presses with Strong Mounts
If your press is installed on Strong Mounts (Photo 17),
the green square tubing provided with your Rifle Bullet
Feeder will not be tall enough. Therefore, you will need
to mount your RCBS Bullet Feeder Bowl Assembly
using the Support Tube Assembly provided in this kit
(Photo 1).

For Presses with No Strong Mounts
The green square tubing provided with your Rifle
Bullet Feeder may be long enough.
The Clamp and Clamp Anchor (781315 and 781316,
respectively) supplied with this Kit give you the ability
to mount your Bullet Feeder Bowl to the green square
tubing from RCBS (Photo 18) or the black round
tubing on the Dillon Case Feeder (Photo 19). Choose the
option that is best suited for your situation. Assemble
the Clamp as shown using the two 1/4-20 x 3” Long
BHCS provided. Tighten both firmly to keep Bowl
Assembly stable.

Ensure that the placement of the Bullet Feeder does not
interfere with the operation of your press.
Insert the smaller end diameter of the clear Bullet Drop
Tube into the Switch Block (Photo 16). Insert free end of
clear tube into Bullet Feed/ Seat Die Assembly.
The installation of your RCBS Bullet Feeder Dillon
Conversion Kit is now complete. Before you begin
loading, verify the Bullet Seat Die is adjusted for proper
cartridge length and that bullets feed reliably through
the mechanism.
Refer to the Product Instructions received with your
RCBS Rifle Bullet Feeder for the remainder of the steps.
CAUTION:
A bullet will be fed with each cycling of
the Push Bar. If a powder drop problem is incurred and
that case is removed from the shell plate station, the
bullet that was fed into the Bullet Feed/ Seat Assembly
MUST be removed from the Bullet Guide. If the bullet is
not removed and the next case is introduced, there will
be two bullets in the Bullet Guide and the bullets will jam
and possibly bend or damage the free floating Seat Plug.
